The romantic atmosphere of a nighttime aquarium

The Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium holds its annual Summer Night Aquarium from Tuesday, July 22 to Sunday, August 31! During the event period, establishment hours are lengthened to 8:00 pm and South Building's lights are dimmed as low as they can go after 5:00 pm for a heart-thumping romantic aura. Plus, if you enter after 5:00 pm, you'll receive a nearly 20% discount off the regular admission fee.

There are plenty of things that only the Night Aquarium offers, such as the creatures' nocturnal behavior and the relaxing sight of penguins as they slumber. The ever popular evening dolphin performance too is a must-see.

Come and enjoy the aquarium at night—a completely different experience from the regular daytime aquarium!
